Melissa Naschenweng & Band - Live

Melissa Naschenweng has developed into one of the most successful and popular artists in the country within just a few years. With her captivating mix of schlager, pop, rock, and folk influences, she fascinates a cross-generational audience of young and old alike, who celebrate the down-to-earth yet modern and open-minded power woman raised in the Lesachtal Valley of Carinthia. Melissa Naschenweng loves to play with clichés in her music, break with dusty traditions, and unite seemingly opposing elements in her own contemporary style. Pink leather pants, a pink accordion, Melissa's pink world. For the past five years, Melissa Naschenweng's chart and success meter has been clear skies. And for just as many years, she has shown her unique selling point with unwavering authenticity in an industry that otherwise struggles without rose-colored glasses. Melissa, like the country, is the woman. She is who she is. She won't be silenced.

Since her childhood, nothing goes without an accordion for Melissa – also because she has firmly embedded the accordion in rock 'n' roll and shows her audience that women can certainly give the boys a run for their money in rustic rock. To those who doubt, let it be noted: mountain farmers, or rather the boys among them, driving tractors, mowing meadows, chopping wood are not just sung clichés in her case, but simply taken from Melissa's life. Melissa is like the valley. With edges and corners, romantic and wild. Tough and tender.
